Re: Dump and restore problem

Most files systems allocate in 1k(1024) block(s)
If the resource requests more.. the OS FS allocates one more 1024 block
(thus the display of 2048 allocation..)

hope this makes sense,
Martin

It looks like it's working:
file postgresql_database-db-backup
postgresql_database-db-backup: tar archive

tar tfv postgresql_database-db-backup

etc.

This only weird thing is the ownership is weird. Where did that
2048/1024 come from?
